The department is charged with assuring conditions in which people can be healthy. In 1999 the agency expanded to two locations after receiving a grant from the ADAMH Board. We were approved for 501(c) (3) status in April of 1995. On Apthe New Direction Program incorporated and became an official entity under the new name of the Community for New Direction. In October 1993 the New Direction program relocated its administrative office from the two bedroom aptartment on Van Buren to 859 West Mound St. In October 1991, the program went through a restructuring process. In the process, the program's focus on at-risk youth broadened to include comprehensive services to families,schools and the community. The new structure included the following: after-school social adjustment groups, employment stipend training, individual/family counseling, crisis intervention and in-school staff development training and mediation. In 1990 the collaboration made a funding request to Columbus City Council to renovate the old laundromat building located at 651 Harmon Avenue.The City Council responded with a grant of $45,000 and the building opened for community use in late 1990. The New Direction program as it currently exist officially began in February, 1989 as one of four demonstration projects funded through the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services(ODADAS), Franklin County, Alcohol Drug and Mental Health Board (ADAMH) and the Governor's Office on Criminal Justice Services(OCJS). B.īuilding on the work of the Youth Leadership Program, New Direction started as a consortium of county and state agencies working together to provide a range of services to high risk youth. The program was housed in a two-bedroom apartment, located at 610 Van Buren Drive, Apt. The program received administrative support from the Franklin County Juvenile Court and Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority(CMHA) and was funded by the Governer's Office of Criminal Justice Services through the Alliance for Cooperative Justice. Several volunteer attempts to create positive recreational opportunities for Sullivant Gardens youth eventually grew into an official program called the Franklin County Youth Leadership Program in the spring of 1988. The lack of positive opportunities in the community had caused too many youth to turn to the negative choices of drugs, alcohol, gang activities and crime. The roots of the New Direction program can be traced back to mid-1980's. Community for New Direction gives these leadership tools through our program, Future Opportunities Created for Urban Students in which students go through a 32 week leadership course that prepares them for the job force and higher education. As our children prepare for the future understand their roles as leaders among those that are younger and their peers.
